Property group Andrews has appointed Ellie Donaghy to the role of area manager for its letting and management business across Bristol, Bath and Midsomer Norton.
Ellie, pictured, has worked at Keynsham-headquartered Andrews for nine years, having joined as a trainee negotiator. 
She was most recently district manager for Gloucestershire while also managing the branch in Bishopston, Bristol.
She will maintain responsibility for Gloucestershire in her new role until a new district manager is appointed.
Ellie said: “It’s incredible to think that in nine years I have progressed from a trainee, through to area manager.
“I really put this down to the nurturing environment of Andrews where every employee is genuinely valued and isn’t just a number. If you work hard and focus on your own progression, Andrews rewards you accordingly.
“This is one of my aspirations for the team that I am now managing – that I can support as many of them as possible to achieve their full potential. Of course, I am also fully focused on further growing the business in the area and securing Andrews’ position as the ‘go-to’ agent of choice in the Bristol, Bath and Midsomer Norton region.”
Ellie continues to report to Andrews letting and management managing director David Westgate, who added: “From her first day with Andrews, Ellie demonstrated a dedication and passion for her work that was impossible to ignore.
“As a business, we have a commitment to furthering the careers of our most aspirational team members and Ellie has certainly proved herself to be one of those. She has done a fabulous job over the last two years in her role as district manager for Gloucestershire and I feel certain she’ll do equally well in her new role.”
